World Bank Reports on the Mahaweli Ganga Development Project
Stage 1
First Mahaweli Ganga Development ProjectWB Report 30 December 1969
Abstract
This report contains the appraisal of the project which consists of Stage I of the first scheme of the Mahaweli Ganga Development Program. The project includes the diversion of Mahaweli Ganga water, at Polgolla, to augment irrigation supplies to 126,700 ac (cultivated) of land located in two areas in the dry zone, and the installation of a hydro-electric power plant of 40 MW capacity at Polgolla. Provision is made for the on- farm development of 4,000 ac of sugarcane and for feasibility studies required for subsequent stages of the scheme under the Mahaweli Ganga Development Program. Major construction works required for the full development of the area would need to be carried out under this first stage.

Second Mahaweli Ganga Development Project
WB Staff Appraisal report 31 March 1977
Abstract
The Second Mahaweli Ganga Development Project will be the first major development of new lands located in Sri Lanka's north-central dry zone, covered by the Government's Mahaweli Master Plan. The Project builds on experience gained from ongoing irrigation/settlement works in the area, as well as previous schemes elsewhere in Sri Lanka, and is designed with the view to replication in the future. It provides for irrigation works and land development, agricultural production support, and social infrastructure required for completing Stage II of the Government's Plan. The project includes major components for: irrigation infrastructure; on-farm development; equipment, vehicles, and facilities; agricultural extension and research; farm equipment; storage, marketing, and processing; market roads; schools, medical, and community facilities; village and roads, settler assistance; and technical assistance.
It envisaged the construction of Kotmale, Victoria, Maduru Oya, Randenigala dams and the downstream development of about 60,000 ha in Systems B and C , as well as the construction of Rantambe, Ulhitiya and Ratkinda reservoirs. To implement the project the Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka was established.

Accelerated Mahaweli Ganga Development Project
In 1978 the Master Plan was revised to implement the Accelerated Mahaweli Programme (AMP)..It envisaged the construction of Kotmale, Victoria, Maduru Oya, Randenigala dams and the downstream development of about 60,000 ha in Systems B and C , as well as the construction of Rantambe, Ulhitiya and Ratkinda reservoirs. To implement the project the Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka was established.
Stage 3
Third Mahaweli Ganga Development Project
WB Report 1 June 1981
Abstract
The Third Mahaweli Ganga Development Project will encompass development for irrigation and settlement of the downstream area to be served by the Victoria Dam Project, currently under implementation. The project will include: (i) completion of the Minipe Right Bank Transbasin Canal; (ii) provision of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, land clearing and on-farm development, social and managerial infrastructure, fuelwood and cashew plantations, and settlement services in the northern part of System C, including about 18,500 ha of newly irrigated area; and (iii) technical assistance, monitoring, equipment, and maintenance services benefitting the whole of System C involving 24,100 ha of newly irrigated land and 3,600 ha of currently irrigated area. Of the 27,700 directly benefitting families, about 87 percent will be new farmer settlers most of whom are currently landless or operating sub-economic holdings.

Fourth Mahaweli Ganga Development Project
WB Report 18 May 1984
Abstract
The Fourth Mahaweli Ganga Development Project will be the fourth irrigated agricultural development project assisted by the Bank Group under the Mahaweli Ganga Development Program. The project will provide facilities for new irrigation in about 14,000 ha and settlement of 18,200 families on the Right Bank of the Maduru Oya River, enhance irrigation to about 1,800 ha of existing cultivated area and establish fuelwood and cashew plantations in non-irrigated project areas. It will also provide artisanal fisheries development, settlement assistance, social infrastructure, management facilities and vehicle, monitoring and training. Furthermore, it will suppport Sri Lanka's ongoing environmental protection program. Project implementation is time sensitive and to minimize risk, the project includes a significant technical assistance component to ensure completion of all work as scheduled.
